Usizi Lamavukane

Nokwazi iQhawekazi 1999 (Kwa-Zulu Natal)



Usizi Lamavukane

Ziqongelene zakhelana ezaleni...
Ukuthula kokunyakaza kwezindebe..
Kakusho ukuthula emphefumulweni..
Kepha kubabaza umsindo zisina zidedelana phakathi engqondweni..
Inhliziyo incengwa ithemba kuvumele nalokhu kudlule..
Nakusasa lisazophuma ilanga
Usengeza kangcono kunay'zolo..

Kuningi
Ukubuka okuluvindi
Umsindo wezimbongi
Ukuthula okungekuphumula
Izinyembezi zentandane kazi
Zokhelaphi uma zingecubuze
Amagabade kontaba kayikhonjwa..

Umqukutho wezikhalazo
Umcimbi ingqibamasondo
Kasiqale kabusha siziphendlele eyethu indlela elula..
Abaphambili sebaphenduka ijuba likaNoah..
Kabaphindanga babuya..

Imizamo yamavukane ifa leziqhwaga..
Kusakusa usiba luchithekela kumqingo
Wemizwa yosonkondlo..
Uma Ukufa kungukuphumula
Sibopheleni isigwebo sokuhlala sikhathele ..
Solokhu sihleli sibambelele kulo ithemba..
Nakusasa lisazophuma ilanga Sisengenza kangcono kunay'zolo...

Isibonakaliso sezikhukhula
Sibikezela isimanga
Imbuya sesiyicofacofa ngezinti
Lisho liheleza ngomoya iphunga
Ikati lendlale laze lafaneleka eziko..
Yakhela ngamaqubu enye
Kusho omunye esho komunye..
Sibe siyiqaqa inyanda siphemba umlilo wokupheka isidlo sakamakhelwane..
Kunjalo ke insimi yeziwula igcanasa onogwaja..

Iqomisele buqamama
Ingaze ikubhunyele
Ngebhakede lezingcithabuchopho abakhihla ezemali ezemuka namanzi..
Ugawule ubheke lelohlathi kaluthezwa..
Isizinda somdlebe..
Hamba nkondlo
Hamba nkondlo
Uyothi cababa ezithebeni zomnikazi
